To add some color to the rumors. It was said at our MEM closure meeting by crew planning they see the Airbus in NYC doing a lot of Florida stuff. I would say that is a lot of what the 88 does in NYC. NYC 88 has trips that fly lga to fll to jfk and you overnight in downtown nyc for 3 nights while you fly FL turns out of JFK. does not make sense to keep these types of pairings especially since they want to get rid of nyc layovers for cost. they also said they see a lot of day trips in nyc airbus for the FL shuttle and mix that with SHuttle stuff.
Lastly I dont see how they would cut back too much on the INTL stuff in ATL especially with thenew terminal opening up there and they fact that they are opening their biggest sky club even in the new terminal.
